U.S. Navy Restarts Guiding Ships Through the Strait of Hormuz - WSJ
Dow Jones05-26 22:49
The U.S. Navy has restarted assisting vessel crossings through the Strait of Hormuz, according to U.S. military officials.
The officials told The Wall Street Journal that a Greek supertanker laden with two million barrels of crude was guided by the U.S. Navy, as it crossed the waterway off the Omani coast.
The ship was stuck in the Middle East Gulf since early March and is now heading to India to deliver its cargo.
The protection is a renewed push of "Project Freedom," an earlier U.S. initiative to guide ships through the vital shipping corridor that was halted roughly 36 hours into the operation.
The officials said the Navy plans to help about a dozen vessels including supertankers and container ships to cross through the waterway over the coming days.
